Ingredients

  • 1 small watermelon 1.8kg
  • 60 g stem ginger in syrup
  • 2 limes
  • ½ a bunch of fresh mint 15g
  • 8 tablespoons natural yoghurt

Instructions

  • Cut off the watermelon rind, then chop the flesh into chunks, picking out any seeds.
  • Roughly chop the ginger and place in a large sealable freezer bag with the watermelon chunks.
  • Finely grate in the lime zest, squeeze in all the juice, then freeze flat for at least 8 hours, or until super-hard.
  • When ready to serve, pick and reserve the baby mint leaves, then pick the rest into a food processor.
  • Tip in the frozen watermelon mixture and blitz to a pink snow (in batches, if you need to).
  • Serve 2 heaped tablespoons of granita per person, with 1 tablespoon of yoghurt, a drizzle of ginger syrup from the jar and a few baby mint leaves.
  • It’s nice to use chilled plates, bowls or glasses here.
